《Jormungandr's calamity》Book 1: Chapter 4 : A mutation ? (1)
Advertisement
Snar had just jumped on the Chief Bogir, but he dodged him with a simple leg movement. Indeed if Vroul (that's the name I gave him for this fight because I wasn't always going to call him the leader). couldn't have dodged an attack like that, he will already be dead.
Snar was defenseless after this attack because he couldn't dodge or defend himself in the air. Perhaps a humanoid being could achieve this feat, but a snake could not. Indeed he cannot use the weight of his limbs to move his body in the air.
Vroul drove his paws into the ground and bent his body downwards and suddenly he straightened up his body to strike Snar with a claw who has a monstrous power. That scratch lacerated Snar's entire lower body.
Vroul thought he had won because he had just inflicted a major injury on Snar. The creator had given all snakes a very strong body, but they must have had a weakness and that weakness was under their torso because the skin there was smooth and not scaly.
Vroul was suddenly taken by a giggle: "ah ah ah ah ah, I win, blood belongs only to me.
Snar (staring at him dismissively): No, my rat, you're far from killing me and if I die I'll take you with me to Hell. Snar did something that Vroul didn't foresee in his plan, he used his attack to propel himself backward and while he was flying backward he opened his mouth and sprayed his venom on him.
The venom that Snarl sprayed end up hitting the lower body of Vroul even though this attack was not enough to seriously injured him, this injury will be a serious handicap for the incoming fight. Indeed it was going to strongly impact his performance for the future fight because his paws had been touched and the paws were one of the only strong points of the Borigs.

They had two strong points which were respectively their striking power and their mobility because what's the point of having a good defense if you can dodge all the attacks that come to you and what's the point of having a good striking power if you can't even touch your opponent.
So without his footwork, Vroul has a disadvantage because if we look at the wound he had inflicted on Snar, we could see that it was not deep enough. While Vroul was lost in his thought,
Snar was coming towards the ground like an arrow. He trie to be slower but he fails so he lands on his back. The landing was not without problems indeed Snar's body smashed into the ground and created a small crater with an explosion of earth and pebbles in all directions.
Snar stood up and stared at his surroundings and at the small crater that he just created.
Snar: "I don't know that I was fat enough to create a crater when landing and like a dumb guy he laughed a joke that he finds very funny but he immediately got serious because it wasn't a situation where he could act like this."
Snar: "So now that he's not bouncing around anymore, the fight will be to my advantage. Now it is necessary to set up a plan so that I can defeat him I will be able to attack him from a distance with my venom or by throwing projectiles to kill him little by little but it is not the type of fight which I like indeed it is made for Pril, not for me I am a warrior so I will fight like a warrior.
I will thus face him frontally but I have a big advantage Indeed I'm bigger than him so I will have more length than him thus the victory is mine except if there is a miracle which occurs but that is not likely to occur it is a miracle it is not so common.

So we have the slow, risk-free win and a quick win where I could lose my life so let's go for the second option. If Pril would have been there, she would have killed Snar because she knew that he was a battle-maniac but to put his life on the line when there was a safer option he could have selected.
Snar: "Hopefully Pril is not here because she will have killed me if I make this choice if I was with her but I'm alone right now but I can't die I have a family that awaits my return at home. I look at the Bogir and pounce at him, Big rat here I come."
Vroul Pov, during this fight we will alternate between the two povs. Right now we will also have a flashback of Vroul life to make you like him even if fight Snar.
Vroul:" I do what wrong, normally with my army defeat two snakes but not what except. Army dead and me wounded. Are Bogirs doomed to remain weak forever?
Even if the fight had not resumed we can already guess the winner. Indeed one of the most important elements during a fight is morale. During a fight, it is not only the physical abilities that count but also the mental abilities because if your body gives up, you can still fight and exceed your limits if you have an iron will but if your morale is broken in the middle of a fight, you will not be able to fight at 100% of your abilities.
This is why you should never give up during a fight because a miracle or a lucky hit always exists and if you wish and fight for it to happen everything is possible.
Speaking of miracle, we can take the example of the ancestor of the Bogirs. Indeed the latter was an ordinary rat who was just a little stronger than normal. But he killed a wolf and he only won because he doesn't lose hope and exceed his limit and after a difficult fight, he finally emerged as the winner.
While he was still lost in his thoughts, he saw a huge shadow above his head, at first he had the idea to avoid it, but he couldn't do it because his paws were hurt and he had noticed the blow much too late to avoid it. So he put his arms in front of his chest. But that didn't change the fact that he received a big injury, the blow of the tail propelled him like a cannonball, he finally stopped after crashing into a tree. He tried to stand up, but it looks like his legs had abandoned him.
Meanwhile, the snake in front of him was advancing very slowly as if it wanted the fight to go on. Seeing this attitude in his opponent, a memory of his childhood comes to his mind.

Malheur aux vaincus - Short stories
I am a reader, not a writer. But in the spirit of contributing to the trove of texts present here, I hope to share some short stories that I wrote: two in French in a Roman Fantasy setting ; and the rest in English: one inspired by manichean webnovels, another one... difficult to classify as a fiction, a little flight of fancy about the 'What if?' game, and last even two poems.

Hardcore OP-ness
Most people pray for good health, a loving family, and to win the lottery. I asked “Can you send me to a game-like fantasy-style world? It can't be too unrealistic, but also, it would be nice if I was immortal to some degree. Oh yea, no rape or slavery either, cause then I'll have to spend the whole time trying to create a perfect society, and I'd rather not have to deal with all that nonsense. No other players either, cause that always creates a ton of annoying drama, and I just want to have a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable time.â€Three years later, after I had completely forgotten about all that… well, better late than never I suppose. The moral of this story, is to be careful what you wish for; also, cuteness is justice, so don't complain if adorable bunnies beat you to death and devour your corpse.(Warning: This story includes profanity, numbers, humanity, nudity, uncomfortable realism in a fantasy-world, awkward but mild sexual-content, descriptive violence and gore, nekomimi, necrophilia, bizarre and disturbing sexual-content, offensive language, plus all of the other things that disclaimers usually have to tell you about. Do not read this if you dislike transportation, virtual reality, fantasy, or other similar genres… or me, because I'm the author.)I'm only posting a few chapters on this site, but there are over 100 on my wordpress. https://mike777ac.wordpress.com/hardcore-op-ness/
